The JJY-YCD28SPY is an integrated ultrasonic level transmitter built for tanks, sumps, channels and silos where the working conditions are hostile to a sensor — 0.05 m to 30 m measuring range, a 5 cm blind zone (roughly a quarter of the ~20 cm blind zone a typical off-the-shelf ultrasonic leaves unreadable under the sensor) and ±3 mm accuracy on the RS485 version. A high-frequency transducer with a tight ±6° beam keeps the echo intact through mist, steam and airborne dust that a conventional ultrasonic gauge simply loses. Output is HART two-wire 4–20 mA or RS485 (Modbus / text protocol); the instrument mounts through a G2 thread and is rated IP67, −40…75 °C.

JiaJia Eye is an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer in Shenzhen, established in 2015. We supply OEM/ODM buyers and instrument distributors across Southeast Asia — water treatment, chemicals, palm oil, food & beverage — with free samples, custom measuring ranges, custom protocols and private labelling.
Key Features
Holds its echo through mist, steam and dust
An ultrasonic gauge is usually the first instrument to drop out when vapour, condensation or airborne dust sits in the beam path — which is why so many of them end up specified for clean water only. The JJY-YCD28SPY uses a high-frequency transducer with a ±6° beam, so the return echo stays clean in wet wells, steam-blanketed tanks, cement and fly-ash silos and dusty loading bays.
30 m range — twice the usual ultrasonic ceiling
Most ultrasonic level transmitters stop at 15 m, which forces a second instrument or a different measuring principle once a silo gets deep. This one measures to 30 m, so a single unit covers deep silos, tall storage tanks and long open channels without a repeater and without changing technology.
5 cm blind zone — not 20 cm
The blind zone is the dead length under the transducer where nothing can be measured, and on a standard ultrasonic gauge it is around 20 cm — the top 20 cm of every tank is simply invisible. At 5 cm you can still read a tank that has to be kept full to the brim, a small dosing vessel or a low-clearance manhole, right up to the top, with ±3 mm accuracy on the RS485 version.
Typical Applications
Wet wells, sumps and sewage pumping stations
Condensation, humidity and surface foam are normal here rather than exceptional. Mounted over a wet well, the transmitter reads through the vapour layer that blanks out a standard ultrasonic gauge — for pump duty control, level alarms and overflow protection.
Silos, bins and dusty bulk material
Cement, fly ash, grain, plastic pellets and powders put dust in the air every time the silo is filled. The high-frequency transducer and narrow beam keep the reading stable through that dust cloud, and the range reaches the bottom of a deep silo from a single mounting point.
Deep tanks and open channels
With 30 m of range, one instrument covers tall storage tanks, reservoirs and long open channels — including flumes and weirs where the level has to be logged continuously across a wide span.
Ultrasonic Water Level Sensor for Clean & Waste Water
Clean water, boreholes and reservoirs
As an ultrasonic water level sensor the JJY-YCD28SPY reads through the vapour layer that blanks a standard gauge over boreholes, rooftop tanks, treated-water reservoirs and rural supply lines — no moving parts, no electrode fouling, nothing to drift in sediment-laden water.
Sewage, stormwater and process effluent
In wet wells, lift stations and stormwater channels the 5 cm blind zone and ±6° narrow beam keep the reading stable through condensation, foam and flowing inlet streams — the same instrument that survives cement-silo dust also survives the humidity of a sewage pumping station.
For borehole, reservoir and wastewater duty the transmitter is supplied with a weatherproof cable entry and a G2 mounting boss; tell us the well diameter and we will set the measuring range and output (4–20 mA or RS485) for your panel.

What is the measuring range, and how close to the transducer can it read?
0.05 m to 30 m, with a 5 cm blind zone. Measurement therefore starts 5 cm below the transducer face, against roughly 20 cm on a standard ultrasonic gauge — which is why a tank that must be kept full can still be read to the top.
Why does it keep working where a normal ultrasonic gauge fails?
The transducer runs at a high frequency with a shorter wavelength and a tight ±6° beam, so the return echo is picked out of a much smaller volume of air. Mist, steam, condensation and airborne dust that scatter or absorb the wide beam of a conventional gauge no longer break the reading. It is also the reason the instrument suits solid and powder material as well as liquids.
How accurate is it?
±3 mm on the RS485 version. The two-wire 4–20 mA version is specified at 0.1 % of span, which is set by the 4–20 mA loop rather than by the sensor.
Which output should I order — HART 4–20 mA or RS485?
Choose HART two-wire 4–20 mA (24 V, 3.3 mA) when the instrument has to drop into an existing analogue loop, a DCS or a PLC analogue card. Choose RS485 (9–24 V, 20 mA at 12 V) when you want Modbus or text protocol, several instruments on one bus, or digital values with the full ±3 mm resolution. The protocol can be customised for OEM projects.
How do I mount it, and what has to be kept out of the beam?
The instrument mounts vertically through a G2 threaded boss and must have a clear path to the product surface. Keep ladders, steps, sidewalls, internal pipework and the feed inlet out of the beam cone — a filling stream crossing the beam is the most common cause of a jumping reading. On conical tanks, aim the beam straight down at the bottom outlet.
What is the housing made of, and what protection class does it have?
The housing is PC (polycarbonate) with a PTFE transducer face, rated IP67 and specified from −40 °C to +75 °C. Cable entry is M16×1.5 and accepts 6–12 mm cable.
Does it have a display, and can it show temperature?
Yes — a four-button keypad and a menu-driven display for range, output and echo settings, with a temperature readout as well as the level value. The same parameters can be set from the Windows configuration software over the serial port.
What is the MOQ, and how fast is delivery?
MOQ is 1 unit. Samples and orders of 1–20 units ship within 2 working days from stock; production runs of 20–500 units take 1–4 weeks depending on the production schedule, followed by calibration and testing.
Can range, protocol, thread and labelling be customised? Can I get a sample?
Yes to all. Measuring range, output signal, communication protocol, process thread, cable length and private labelling are all customisable, and one free sample is provided — the buyer covers the freight.
What certifications do you hold?
ISO 9001:2015 (certificate 02426Q00028R101, valid until 2029-01-15). CE certification is in preparation.
